BEDRIDDEN

Silly to be
caught in bed, struck
with the thoughts of time
past, a mist rises up
out from under the duvet
wet white loss-palace
expanding out who knows
where the boundaries now lie
A face looms out - lover?
how long have you remained
in this deep fog? What do you eat?

No answer, in mist
the words
like the distances
lose all sense of place
